I read in the documentation for A86 (a good SW compiler - I reccomend it), that
the new instructions such as PUSHA, POPA & BOUND were part of the 186/286/NEC
chips.  Does this include the NEC V-20 (or V-20-8)?

Has anyone out there heard any news about or tried the new Turbo-C compiler by
Borland?  I'd like to know how it compares to Microsoft, DeSmet and the other
biggies.  Does it incorporate a run-time library like Turbo-Pascal (let's hope
not.)?  Is it as slow as Turbo-Pascal (also a result of that library).
